Santorum Takes His Hate Campaign to Penn State

Rick Santorum took his campaign of theological hate to Penn State as part of his effort to awaken people to his fear mongering of Muslims. Warning about a non existent term he calls "Islamic Fascism," ignorant of the fact the two words are incompatible, the infamous "Man on Dog" ex-Senator insists this is the greatest threat to America. He took his message to penn State where he was met with organized protests and opposition.

There is no such thing as "islamo Fascism." Fascism is the takeover of a state by businesses and corporations. Show me one capitalist Muslim country with the capability of turning fascist. Not a single one exists. The fear mongering based on this is typical Santorum. The man's brain must be the size of a pea. Nonetheless he's making a new career of scaring people about these fictional, dangerous people. The only thing accomplished by Islamo Fascism week was the demonization of Muslims, the continued support for the military-industrial complex and the continued division of people, turning Christians against Muslims.

No wonder they hate us.

Congratulations to the Muslim Student Association for standing up to this war mongerer and not allowing him an open platform in a return to his alma mater. More about the event from The Daily Collegian:

"Santorum, for his part, got basic facts wrong about Islam (incorrectly
calling Muhammad the "only prophet" instead of the "final prophet," for
instance). He also came under the sponsorship of the conservative Young
Americans for Freedom group instead of a neutral party like the
Political Science Association. That doesn't exactly send a signal that
he's trying to engage in an open, educational dialogue."
